SCOTUS likes this tactic and has used it a lot, notably in the Mississippi gerrymandering case that they slow walked until after an election so Republicans could take the seats they stole

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

I think that's part of it but the other part is it's men -and in this case especially rich men - and they already don't do those tasks, so they don't see them. This is why we're getting Samsung TV's with ads and not fridges that remind us to eat the lettuce before it spoils

Well now it depends, Dollar Store Goebbels from Santa Monica. Is this sleepy Southern town one you might not want to be in after sundown, say?

My boss: so how's our fourth quarter looking?

Me, the sales manager at the company that makes inflatable frog suits: well, you're never going to believe this, but

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this

And one of the many reasons billionaires shouldn’t exist is that no one’s economic security should be entirely divorced from the well-being of the country they live in

I can’t wait to see which inflatable animal costume Soros sends me!

Liar says what

Sometimes I feel like setting up a repeating post that just says these people are post constitutional, they viewed Biden as an illegitimate spoedbump in a larger project so of course they worked against him, the wizard council said Trump was a king 10 decisions ago you’ve gotta change tactics

I agree with this whole thread.

I joked about it but it may actually be worthwhile for every Dem who gets on tv to start saying Stephen Miller is the real president
